Christmas Break Pt. 1: Home

Everyone finished up school Tue. and Wed., but let me back up.

Last Thursday was finally the last day of the stomach bug going through our house. Lewis threw up all over the kitchen floor. I took the 3 older kids to see Coco and then switched with James so he could go see Star Wars. We loved Coco! Thankfully, Lewis was fine after Thursday.

Friday, we had family movie night and watched Home Alone. The kids LOVED it. I loved seeing them laugh so hard at a movie.

Saturday, I can't remember what we did, so I guess it wasn't all the crazy. Sunday was normal.

Monday night for FHE, we watched a movie about Hanukkah because Joseph and Kenny have been asking a lot of questions about it. We got the Living Scriptures subscription from James's mom and dad as a Christmas present, so that's pretty nice.

Tuesday, James and I went to the faculty Christmas party. It was a lot of fun and delicious. We came home with some bath/face samples and a Frank Sinatra CD from the white elephant gift exchange.

Wednesday, we had people over at our house for game night. It was pretty fun. Devin and the Packards came over. As they were leaving, it was snowing! The kids played in it some today, but there really isn't that much. It's nothing compared to what we normally have.

I've been stressing a bit about a couple of things, especially thing related to our upcoming trip on Sunday/Monday, but several have resolved already. Phew.

I probably won't write about the rest of the week, but it will be pretty simple.

Friday: temple in the morning with James, family movie night (Home Alone 2)

Saturday: clean and pack like crazy, hopefully not forget anything

Sunday: early Church so we can drive to our hotel and avoid an inclement weather, then open presents and eat our clam chowder at the hotel, pack everything up, and prepare to fly first thing in the morning. We arrive in NC around 3 p.m. on Christmas Day! I hope everything goes to plan and I write from NC next!
